A PROMINENT member O. Parlia ment who

that the English Government can more

By a slip of the pen, IN error crept into
our report of Mrs. Rae's testimony in the
libel suit against The MINER Publishing

tied with having stated to Mrs. Rae that
''he couldn't do anything for her after the
publications.; that it was q shame
to have Zfegenfuss connected
with the paper; that it was q matchmaking

the late Colonel Thornton as having made
these statements to her. She eve ap-

THERE is great doubt that the City Coun-
Gil has a right to make a contract binding
the city for five years. Hthey have the le-

with the spirit of our institutions to sub.

the taxpayers. It does not look well, to
say the least. to saddle such a contract on

Nearly Fifty signatures Procured in 1ess
Than Half an Hour-To be Presented
for Further Signatures To-Day.
The feeling against the proposition to sab
stitute gas for lighting the streets has taken
shape in the following petition. The petit
ton was only taken in hand last evening
about half-past s, and in twenty-five min
utes the accompanying signatures were OBJ
tanned. It will be passed around further
to-day and everyone will have an opportu-
pity to append his rame to the protest
against the gas-lighting scheme:
To the Honorable Mayor and Members OF
the Council Of the City OF Butte:
GENrLEM N: We the undersigned, citi-
zens of Bntte City, Silver Bow County,
Montana, respectfully represent that we
| believe the displacement OF the electric
| lights and the substitution OF gas in light
il, the streets Of Butte would be Il back
ward movement. greatly detrimental to
the interests OF the city and a barrier to
it's progress.
That the gas ia totally insufficient to
afford a satisfactory light, particularly
during hard freezing weather, and during
the fogs which ore, all so frequently il
winter.
That to get an equivalent quantity oil
gas produced by a gwen number OF electric
lights the expense would be greater and the
quality OF the light Infinitely Inferior and
that in consequence theft, burglary and
/ other crimes would materially increase.
That all progressive towns throughout
the United States have adopted the electric
light and Butte should not be found in the
rear in the "a &c for eminence.
We further believe that any question O
SO much Importance, involving h five year
contract, should be submitted to u vote ol
the people. and we respectfully ask that
this be done, or that you continue tC
mai"tain the system OF ~electric lighting
and your petitioners will ever pray.

along, however, much the citizens may have

There is great excitement on the place
when a 10Y loses her cud, " said the old
farmer. 1.-The boys u as fast as they
can for the COW doctor, and we all turn
to and get things ready for him. The
COW stands with her head down and neck
stretched out, and is altogether the most
woe begone animal you ever saw"
what will happen if she doesn't find
the cud P"
"She will starve to death. You see q
COW has four stomachs, and what she
eats through the day goes into the first
one. And at night she brings up some
of the food from the first stomach and
masticates it. This is called chewing the
cud. After she has lone this, it goes to
the second stomach and is digested. If
she loses her cud, she can't pass the food
from the first stomach to the second, and
is bound to starve,
When the doctor arrives he slaps the
10Y 3 sides, twists her tail and looks in
her mouth. Then he calls for a piece of
salt Goldfish and puts it in her mouth. If
that fails to bring the cud he rubs her
throat and calls for slippery elm. He
puts a wad of it into her jaw and tries to
get her to chew. That failing, he tries a
bunch of grass and a wad of willow
leaves. If all fail, a live frog is brought
and started down the cows throat. This
never fails. The COW gives a heave when
the frog tickles her windpipe, and up
come frog and cud. New York Mail
